Makes sense. I think the bug is well-known (googling suggests this). The last update to the code was a couple of years ago (https://code.google.com/p/tufte-latex/source/list) so this could be around for a while. I guess setting the default output format is the best we can do for now. I'll do that unless someone objects. Scott
